G & T Williams) and the remainder is through the conservation area. Fishing There are two public access points to Kennisis Lake. One access point nears the southeast shore of the lake, while the other access point is close to the Kennisis Dam. The availability of access opens the public to the opportunity of fishing on the lake. Kennisis has been stocked with thousands of lake trout since 1925. At all depths, the lake is well oxygenated all year round. This contributed to the optimal conditions for growth and naturalized reproducing of the trout population. Despite a lack of breeding sites being documented, natural reproduction is evident with reported fair catches of unmarked lake trout. Additionally, the common white sucker, longnose sucker, yellow perch, brown bullhead, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, rock bass, and a wide variety of minnow species stocked the rest of the lake's fish population. Tree Planting The tree and shrub planting program was recently established in 2009. This program offers Kennisis members the chance to rehabilitate open or harvested areas, control erosion, create windbreaks, naturalize shorelines, or create wildlife surroundings. For this program, the KLCOA offers two classifications of trees (coniferous trees and deciduous trees) and two classifications of shrubs (shoreline shrubs and upland shrubs). Kennisis members have the option of ordering the tree or shrub of their choosing. The coniferous trees the KLCOA include white pine (that grows 30–45 m tall), white spruce (30–45 m tall), and balsam fir (20–35 m tall). The deciduous trees consist of red oak (60–90 m tall), white birch (45–60 m tall), and sugar maple (60–90 m tall). The program also provides shoreline shrubs such as red osier dogwood (60–90 cm tall) and upland shrubs including staghorn sumas (30–45 cm tall). Maintenance of the planted trees and shrubs involve the controlling of weeds or other competing species around the young plants and provide adequate watering in the event of summer drought conditions to help the plants establish. Sailing The Ontario Sailing Association (OSA) runs a BOOM Sailing Program at Kennisis Lake during the summer. The program offers Kennisis resident members and non-members five days of lessons. This program includes in-water and in-class sessions teaching Kennisis members how to sail on the lake. The Ontario Sailing Association provides professional instructors tending to a limited class of sixteen students. The OSA also supplies instructional boats, teaching aids and lifejackets for all the participants.
